The trade in live birds is an important economic activity, with implications for both domestic and international markets.

Production process

The production techniques for this industry primarily involve the breeding, rearing, and transportation of live birds. Breeders and hatcheries use specialized facilities and equipment to incubate eggs, care for hatchlings, and raise the birds to a suitable age for sale or export. Transportation of live birds requires careful handling, temperature control, and compliance with various regulations to ensure the animals' well-being during transit.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry include breeding stock, feed, veterinary care, and specialized equipment for housing and transporting the birds. Breeders may also require access to genetic resources, such as rare or endangered bird species, to maintain and diversify their stock. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including avian veterinarians, animal caretakers, and logistics professionals, to ensure the proper care and handling of the live birds.
